Celebrating the art of the handmade

Category Archives: #the100dayproject

Having such a productive summer this year, filled with art and creative magic. 🙂

Started a series of after work capsule workshops for watercolor and here are my students! So proud of them:

I will be doing a journaling demo this May 7, in the Pagtitipon event above! See more details here: bit.ly/pagtitipon

I made the rubbercut bookplate and rubbercut stamps above, because I was so inspired by my collab with @kraftkart! I designed book-themed stamps and she carved them by hand:

I also sold my handpainted gilded stickers at the BGC art mart this past weekend, sharing a booth with my good friend @ella_lama:

The day before that, my #artitas and I had a handmade sticker swap party and here’s my loot:

I have a handful of commission work that gets me excited and a trip coming up soon and I can’t be happier. Am also on day 14 of my #100daysofhandsketches in #the100dayproject and I am slowly being accustomed to drawing my hand without a pencil outline, so yay! 🙂

Last year, I joined Elle Luna and The Great Discontent’s #100dayproject to challenge myself. It coincided with my trip to Japan and I finished up to around day 21 only. Hopefully this year is different!

I’m participating in this 100 day project hosted by Elle Luna and The Great Discontent. I’ve been wanting to improve my drawing skills so I’ll draw #100stuffIlove with a pen (no pencils or erasing involved), and coloring them with watercolor because I love color. 🙂

I hope I get to finish 100 days. I’ll be posting the photo per day on my instagram account: @aphazia

Mabuhay!

Hi! I'm Drea Dela Cruz, an artist/crafter from Manila, Philippines.

I love trying new things related to arts and crafts and experimenting with various materials.

I started this blog because I wanted to share my love for the DIY movement--I believe everyone has that artistic side that makes them unique and special and I support encouraging fellow makers. Keep on making things!

Aside from arts and crafts, I also enjoy reading books and magazines, playing with stray cats, traveling, and eating. I'd love to share my artsy-craftsy adventures and journey with you here!
